`RESERVOIR COOK-STGVE.

To dll/whom 'it may concern:

Beit known that I, MARTIN J. MosHER, of the city of Troy, county ofRensselaer, 'and State of New York, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Cooking-Stoves and Ranges; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description of my saidinvention, reference being had to the accom'- panying drawings, inwhich- Figure 1 is a vertical longitudinal section of my improved stove,'taken on the linex x, g. 2.

Figure 2 is a vertical cross-sectin of the same, taken on the line y-y,fig. 1.

Like letters represent and refer to like or corresponding parts.

My invention relates to a hot-water reservoir, placed in front of thestove or range, and heated by radiation from the fire-box and otherparts of the stove; and consists in the employment of a casingsurrounding said reservoir in the front, rear, and on each side, andforming .a hot-air chamber, as hereinafter morev fully-A described andset forth.

To enable others skilled in the art to which my inyvention relates, tomake and use the same, I will here strncted with a rim around the topthereoi'fwhicb rests upon ailange running around the inside of saidaperture, as shown in lig. l, so that the eservoir may be lifted out andremoved when desirab e.

The reservoir is of the usual construction, and may be made vofsheet-metal or other suitable material.

G represents the front plate of a casing which surrounds the reservoirin iront and on the sides and bottom, and which, with the front of thefire-box D, forms a hot-air chamber. By this device, the reservoir isquicklyheated, without exposing it to the full action of-.the fire, and,by removing the said reservoir, the said hot-air chamber may be used forbaking and other culinary purposes. Of course the door to the fire-boxmust be at the side of the stove, as shown at iig. 2. The bottom of thecasing eed not extend entirely under the reservoir, but may haveanaperture or opening, into which the bottom of the reservoir sets, asshown at iig. 1.`

Having thus described the nature of my said invention and improvements,

What I claim as my invention, and desire' to secure by Letters Patent ofythevUnited States, is-

Tbe outer casing G, enclosing the reservoir E, and forming a hot-airchamber around the same, when combinedwith such a reservoirplaced infront of' the fire# box B of a stove orrange, substantially as fullyhereinbefore described and set forth.
